MEMORANDUM
TO: 401/404 Permit Reviewer
FROM: Ian Eckardt, Wildlands Engineering
DATE: November 4, 2022
RE: Pre -Construction Notification - Supporting Documentation
BRIDGEFORK DAIRY MITIGATION SITE
Cleveland County, NC
On behalf of the North Carolina Department of Mitigation Services (NCDMS), Wildlands Engineering, Inc.
(Wildlands) is submitting a Pre -Construction Notification (PCN) for the Bridgefork Dairy Mitigation Site
(SAW-2020-01962) in Cleveland County approximately 2.5 miles northwest of Kings Mountain, NC in the
Broad River Basin (HUC 03050105). The project seeks a Nationwide Permit (NWP) 27 and Water Quality
Certification 4134 for stream restoration, stream enhancement, wetland re-establishment, wetland
rehabilitation, and wetland enhancement. The project proposes to generate stream and wetland
mitigation credits for the NCDMS.
Existing project resources have been altered by historic agricultural practices resulting in impaired
stream and wetland conditions. Streams exhibit channelization, incision, erosion, and limited ecological
function. Floodplain riparian wetlands proposed for re-establishment and rehabilitation are impaired by
historic ditching, cattle grazing, stream incision, and use of tile drains.
The project proposes stream restoration, enhancement II, and preservation to approximately 12,745
linear feet (LF) of stream as well as the re-establishment, rehabilitation, and enhancement of over three
acres of wetlands. Stream mitigation approaches include 9,606 LF of restoration, 3,021 LF of
enhancement II, and 118 LF of preservation on ten unnamed tributaries (UTs) to Potts Creek. For project
purposes the tributaries have been named Bridgefork Creek, UT1, UT2, UT3, UT4, UT4A, UT5, UT6,
UT6A, and UT7. Restoration will involve construction of new channel pattern, profile, and dimension.
Restored channels will be reconnected with active floodplain. Instream structures including boulder sills,
boulder toe, brush toe, cover logs, constructed riffles, log sills, log vanes, log j-hooks, rock j-hooks, and
vegetated soil lifts will be installed to provide stability and habitat. Enhancement II is proposed on
streams that are relatively more stable and generally involve fencing out cattle, buffer planting, debris
removal, and invasive species treatment. Limited grading, channel reconstruction, and instream
structures are also proposed on some enhancement reaches. Approximately 2.59 acres of wetland re-
establishment, 0.293 acres of wetland rehabilitation, and 0.05 acres of wetland enhancement are also
proposed. Wetland uplift will involve restoring stream and floodplain connectivity, floodplain grading,
and filling existing ditches. An existing pond will also be decommissioned and filled to facilitate wetland
re-establishment and enhancement in Wetland Area 2 along UT1. Three best management practices

(BMPs) are proposed in non -jurisdictional areas on UT1, UT4, and UT6A to address concentrated storm
water runoff. The project area will be planted with native riparian species and protected in perpetuity by
a conservation easement.

Project Description
The Bridgefork Mitigation Site is being developed to provide stream and wetland mitigation in the Broad River basin. The project
will include restoration, enhancement, and preservation of nine unnamed tributaries as well as wetland re-establishment and
rehabilitation. The land -use on the property includes an active cattle farm, hay pasture, horse boarding pastures and some
wooded areas. The major goals of the stream and wetland mitigation project are to provide ecological and water quality
enhancements to the Broad River Basin while creating a functional riparian corridor at the site level. This will be accomplished by
excluding livestock, stabilizing stream channels, restoring and enhancing native floodplain and wetland vegetation, implementing
BMPs, and permanently protecting the site through establishing a conservation easement.

Indicate Which of the Following Apply:
A. Preliminary Determination
® There appearto be waters onthe above described project area/property, thatmay be subjectto Section 404 of the Clean Water
Act (CWA)(33 USC § 1344) and/or Section 10 ofthe Rivers and Harbors Act (RHA) (33 USC § 403). The waters have been
delineated, and the delineation has been verified by the Corps to be sufficiently accurate and reliable. The approximate boundaries
of these waters are shown on the enclosed delineation map dated 10/14/2021. Therefore this preliminary jurisdiction
determination maybe used in the permit evaluation process, including determining compensatory mitigation. For purposes of
computation of impacts, compensatory mitigation requirements, and other resource protection measures, a permit decision made
on the basis of a preliminary JD will treat allwaters and wetlands that would be affected in anyway by the permitted activity on
the site as if they are jurisdictional waters of the U.S. This preliminary determination is not an appealable action under the
Regulatory Program Administrative Appeal Process (Reference 33 CFR Part 331). However, you may request an approved JD,
which is an appealable action, by contactingthe Corps districtforfurtherinstruction.
❑ There appear to be waters on the above described project a rea/property, that maybe subjectto Section 404 ofthe Clean Water
Act (CWA)(33 USC § 1344) and/or Section 10 ofthe Rivers and Harbors Act (RHA) (33 USC § 403). However, since the waters
have not been properly delineated, this preliminary jurisdiction determination may not be used in the permit evaluation process.
Without a verified wetland delineation, this preliminary determination is merely an effective presumption of C WA/RHA
jurisdiction over allof the waters at the project area, which is not sufficiently accurate andreliable to support an enforceable
permit decision. We recommend that you have the waters on your project area/property delineated. As the Corps may not be able
to accomplish this wetland delineation in a timely manner, you may wish to obtain a consultantto conduct a delineation thatcan
be verified by the Corps.
B. Approved Determination
❑ There are Navigable Waters ofthe United States within the above describedproject area/property subjectto the permit
requirements of Section 10 of the Rivers andHarbors Act (RHA) (33 USC § 403) and Section 404 ofthe Clean WaterAct
(CWA)(33USC§ 1344). Unless there is a change in law or our published regulations, this determination maybe relied upon for
a period not to exceed five years from the date of this notification.
❑ There are waterson the above described project area/property subjectto the permit requirements of Section 404 of the Clean
WaterAct(CWA)(33USC§ 1344). Unless there is a change in the law or our published regulations, this determination maybe
relied upon fora period notto exceed five years from the date ofthis notification.
❑ We recommend you have the waters on your project area/property delineated. As the Corps may notbe able to accomplish
this wetland delineation in a timely manner, you may wish to obtain a consultant to conduct a delineation thatcan be verified by
the Corps.
❑ The waters on yourproject area/property have been delineated and the delineation has beenverifiedby the Corps. The
approximate boundaries of these waters are shown onthe enclosed delineationmapdatedDATE. We strongly suggest youhave

SAW-2020-01962
this delineation surveyed. Upon completion, this survey should be reviewed and verified by the Corps. Once verified, this survey
will provide an accurate depiction of all areas subject to CWAjurisdiction on your property which, provided there is no change in
the law or our published regulations, maybe relied upon for a periodnotto exceed five years.
❑ The waters have been delineated and surveyed and are accurately depicted on the plat signed by the Corps Regulatory Official

Section 404
1. The Corps of Engineers believes that there may bejurisdictional aquatic resources in the
review area, and the requestor of this PJD is hereby advised of his or her option to request
and obtain an approved JD (AJD) for that review area based on an informed decision after
having discussed the various types of JDs and their characteristics and circumstances when
they may be appropriate.
2. In any circumstance where a permit applicant obtains an individual permit, or a Nationwide
General Permit (NWP) or othergeneral permitverification requiring "pre- construction
notification" (PCN), or requests verification for a non -reporting NWP or other general
permit, and the permit applicant has not requested an AJD for the activity, the permit
applicant is hereby made aware that: (1) the permit applicant has elected to seek a permit
authorization based on a PJD, which does not make an official determination of
jurisdictional aquatic resources; (2) the applicant has the option to request an AJD before
accepting the terms and conditions of the permit authorization, and that basing a permit
authorization on an AJD could possibly result in less compensatory mitigation being
required or different special conditions; (3) the applicant has the rightto request an
individual permit rather than accepting the terms and conditions of the NWP or other
general permit authorization; (4) the applicant can accept a permit authorization and
thereby agree to comply with all the terms and conditions of that permit, including
whatever mitigation requirements the Corps has determined to be necessary; (5)
undertaking any activity in reliance upon the subjectpermit authorization without
requesting an AJD constitutes the applicant's acceptance of the use of the PJD; (6)
accepting a permit authorization (e.g., signing a proffered individual permit) or undertaking
any activity in reliance on any form of Corps permit authorization based on a PJD
constitutes agreement that all aquatic resources in the review area affected in any way by
that activity will be treated as jurisdictional, and waives any challenge to such jurisdiction
in any administrative orjudicial compliance or enforcement action, or in any administrative
appeal or in any Federal court; and (7) whether the applicant elects to use either an AJD or
a PJD, the JD will be processed as soon as practicable. Further, an AJD, a proffered
individual permit (and all terms and conditions contained therein), or individual permit
denial can be administratively appealed pursuant to 33 C.F.R. Part 331. If, during an
administrative appeal, it becomes appropriate to make an official determination whether
geographic jurisdiction exists over aquatic resources in the review area, or to provide an
official delineation of jurisdictional aquatic resources in the review area, the Corps will
provide an AJD to accomplish that result, as soon as is practicable. This PJD finds that
there "may be"waters of the U.S. and/or that there "may be" navigable waters of the U.S.
on the subject review area, and identifies all aquatic features in the review area that could
be affectedby the proposed activity, based on the following information:
